Melinda Messenger claims she was sexually assaulted while working as a girl in the F1 grid

Former model Melinda Messenger, 51 years old, said the incident happened while working for Eddie Jordan’s Formula 1 team

Melinda Messenger has testified that she was sexually assaulted while working as a F1 prostitute.

The 51-year-old former model said the incident happened while working for Eddie Jordan’s Formula 1 team.

She told Sun : “In the team there is a masseuse for the drivers and he also provides massages for the girls.

“In my naivety, I said, ‘Oooh, massage, that would be great’.

“But then, while having it, I suddenly thought, ‘No, it’s all wrong’.”

Melinda said she was able to get out of the situation “shortly” but she didn’t report the man and “put it behind[her”][côấy”[her”

She says the breakdown was one of “hundreds” she went through during major gigs she had in the ’90s with other glamor models like Katie Price.

Melinda added: “I don’t have the ability to protect myself properly. I have terrible boundaries. Boundaries don’t exist. I don’t know how to say no.”

The former model said she now knows how to take care of herself and said that in the past she was ready to exploit herself.

“I’m happy to be paid to look glamorous,” she says. “So it’s a self-exploitation.”

Melinda went on to say that the only time she called someone about their behavior was when she was doing a photo shoot in her twenties for a catalog.

She claimed the man – who she did not name – was “really inappropriate” and had made “numerous sexual comments” and appeared aggressive.

The model said that she had left the photo shoot and refused to return.

Melinda says her going out made a big fuss because she was flown to LA to do it.

Offering a warning to other women in similar situations, she said, “Make sure you’ve got really good boundaries and that you appreciate yourself.”
